For any selection that requires user input, the user is prompted. When commands are sent to the NODEMUX, the command string and NODEMUX responses are echoed to the screen. All commands generated by the program are formatted according to the information provided in the sections above. If any transmission problems are detected, an error message is displayed.

TOUCH SCREEN SUPPORT

(Optional)

The NTI ST-2U-TS 2-PORT UNIVERSAL KVM Switch allows a single touch-screen monitor, and MAC, SUN, or PS/2 mouse and keyboard to communicate directly with any two PS/2 workstations connected to the switch.

The NTI ST-2U-TS includes serial cable connection ports in addition to the video and keyboard/mouse ports (see Fig. 18). The Serial ports may be used for the data communications (DATA I/O) from a VGA multi-scan monitor with touch-screen features if the monitor has touch-screen features. The Keyboard/mouse ports may alternatively be used for the data communications (DATA I/O) if a keyboard and mouse are used. At least one set of DATA I/O ports must be used, either the Serial ports, the Keyboard/mouse ports, or both. If a VGA multi-scan monitor with touch-screen features is used, then a keyboard and mouse are not necessary. If a keyboard and mouse are going to be used, then a standard VGA multi-scan monitor without touch-screen features can be used. It is also possible to use both the monitor with touch-screen features and a keyboard with mouse.
